Peachtree Junior is an event for kids of all ages. The event, held at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, will feature a 3K fun run for kids ages 7-14, a 1/2K for ages 5-9 and 50m dash for ages 6 & under. The event is designed to offer kids the experience, excitement and prestige of the AJC Peachtree Road Race under safe conditions and without the pressures of competition.

After completing the Peachtree Junior, participants are invited to enjoy a post-race festival on the Active Oval. Special appearances include Olympic superstars and the Home Depot mascot, Phil the Bucket! Kids can learn the long jump and hurdles from local Olympic medalists Dwight Phillips and Terrence Trammell. Clinics will also be held on shot put and high jump.
